That's interesting. I found a recent depiction/render of the new LS and it, too, had the four-door coupe look. It's also from a Japanese magazine. I just posted it in the LS forum a few days ago.
Either these renderings are legitimate or someone, possibly the same someone, is feeding a fanciful line. Not sure what to believe, but the A7, Panamera-look is quite popular in China and China is fast becoming an export market that one day may overtake us, if it already hasn't.
Also, I read a report where "Chinese" tastes is starting to dictate design themes. Can't remember where online I read it, but it was very recent.
Never mind, just found it, from May of this year. Also read a report where the Germans are doing the same thing. In fact, China is Mercedes second biggest market after Europe, which is crazy.
So, maybe these crazy design cues are being driven by the Chinese.

Let's imagine out the gaudy racing lines and it is indeed the next camry. Probably the SE or SXE version. Unless Toyota decides to break Nascar tradition of having sheetmetal resembling road cars.
